Description
It's been awhile since I've uploaded some pure photography.
My photos are never all that popular here, but that is okay.
I do it because it is a love of mine, and for those scant few who do enjoy my photography...I give you a hearty 'thank you'! 
Yesterday we attended my husband's nephew's wedding. Perfect spring day, beautiful bride, and handsome groom. I haven't been able to play with my new Canon Powershot much....so I was happy to have the chance to do that at their wedding. When we went indoors for the ceremony, the light was low... so I decided to switch it to black and white (which you can do in the camera settings), and to set the ISO to 800. I knew there would be a lot of grain, but I don't mind that with the black and white shots. I think it gives them a lovely, instant vintage feel. I also had it on the 'Wide Angle' selection, which I like.
The zoom on this thing is amazing. I was sitting three rows back from the stage they were on, and was able to zoom in close for this shot. It is uncropped, and untouched. I just loved the look of all the little pearls on her dress, and the bouquet.
Anyway... that's the story behind this shot. I might post a few more.

I don't know how far back three rows is, but judging a good estimate, that is an amazing shot from that far away!

I absolutely love the detail! I'm sure the bride will love it too (it'll probably be better than most the profesisonal pics they had taken).

Great composition given the nature of your settings and where you were located! You have a natural eye, especially for black and white. If I were the bride, I would have been THRILLED with this photograph!

The grain gives it a nice touch.
Would have been interesting to see this is a sepia or even half-saturation tone, but this is still beautiful.
I enjoy your photography!

I like how simple it is, while still being so elegant. Methinks this would look really nice in a scrapbook. ^^

you have good taste with shots.. and kudos on the black/white... i like using that a lot myself! very pretty angle.. i don't know which part to focus on really.. the flowers which look amazing and have great detail.. or the bust.. which i love the shadow play!
